A native New Yorker and graduate of Philadelphia College of Art with a BFA in Illustration, I was a successful freelance illustrator in New York City for 20 years. Working in traditional media, I specialized in pen and ink for major clients:
The New York Times, Newsweek, Redbook, McCall's, Saturday Review, Travel & Leisure, Scholastic Publications, American Express, Citibank, Macy’s, Barnes & Noble, Bantam, Young & Rubicam, J. Walter Thompson, Ogilvy & Mather, NBC-TV, ABC-TV, Warner Brothers, Clinique, and Elizabeth Arden.
My illustrations were exhibited in several prestigious, juried Society of Illustrators' Annual Shows in New York City. I received two Society of Illustrators' Awards for my art in these shows at the Museum of American Illustration.
Having worked as a graphic designer for McCann-Erickson Advertising, The Sun-Sentinel, and The Palm Beach Post, a South Florida newspaper where I won many awards for my advertising designs, I now combine my design sense and photography with computer graphics. A photographer as well as an artist, I create digital montages with photographic imagery and type.
My art has been influenced by over forty years of Eastern meditation. My series of Buddhist and yoga meditation mandalas – spiritual centering designs – speak directly to the soul of everyone regardless of their spiritual tradition.
For several years, I am truly inspired by the satsangs and silent retreats of Sri Mooji, beloved master of incredible heart and humor. His pointing brings you directly to the space of the Self, the Heart, who you truly are. The blog on this site offers Mooji's quotes not only for inspiration, but deep contemplation.
They are universal in their appeal.
My passion is creating custom personalized montages using your current and vintage family photographs. Memories come alive in a creative digital collage that interweave your photos, favorite quotations or poems, and memorabilia to become a treasured keepsake that loved ones will cherish. My ongoing project is creating beautiful spiritual quotations in a unique design that reflects the meaning of the quote.
